The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council (YRITWC) is a multi-government advisory, advocacy, monitoring, and lobby group for protecting and cleaning up the Yukon River.[1][2] It consists of 66 First Nations and tribes in Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia, living along the Yukon River.[3][4]
Its vision is to "be able to drink water directly from the Yukon River." YRITWC receives its funding from both government agencies and private initiatives; it also accepts donations from members of the public.
